Russia and Ukraine Trade Truce Accusations

Russia and Ukraine Trade Truce Accusations

The Kremlin-declared Easter ceasefire appeared to unravel almost immediately as both warring nations reported continued hostilities.

Ukraine's General Staff claimed over 2,200 violations by Russian forces, while Moscow alleged that Kyiv used the pause to regroup.

The failure of the brief truce has deepened mutual mistrust as the conflict enters its fourth year.

Despite the fighting, Orthodox Christians in both countries gathered to celebrate the holiday under the shadow of war.
